I recently got a GTX 1660 Super, and I have a couple of questions about the Fan display in Precision X1.
 
  1. The software only shows one fan. Even if I "Unlink", only one fan is shown.
  2. The "FAN 1" display stays on 0 RPM / 0 % almost all the time. I have seen it very briefly go to like 800 RPM. If I manually raise the fan speed, then I see expected, non-zero values.
Are these two items expected behaviors?

    Do you have an EVGA card?  If not, which make and model?
     
    I have an NVIDIA made founders edition 1080ti, and it only shows 1 fan.  Mine seems correct.  Low values at idle + auto speed, shifts when I slide the fan slider and press apply button.  Pressing the ICX button on the right doesn't help me (I don't have an EVGA ICX card either :P), with the fan speed value disappearing from the left.
     
    I think some fan speeds can't be read correctly when they run too slow.  And I assume you know if the fan(s) is stopping when it says 0 RPM/0 %.  Meaning maybe it's making so little heat you don't need a fan?  Would make the card extra quiet when running idle.  I don't know that card.

    It is an EVGA card.
     
    I actually opened up the case to see what was going on. One fan was running and one was not with the card at idle. A Google search revealed that this is normal behavior. I would prefer if Precision X1 would show each fan individually, but as far as I can tell, that is not possible.
